StarCraft II continues the epic saga of the Protoss, Terran, and Zerg. These three distinct and powerful races will clash once again in the fast-paced real-time strategy sequel to the legendary original, StarCraft. Legions of veteran, upgraded, and brand-new unit types will do battle across the galaxy, as each faction struggles for survival. Featuring a unique single-player campaign that picks up where StarCraft: Brood War left off, StarCraft II will present a cast of new heroes and familiar faces in an edgy sci-fi story filled with adventure and intrigue. In addition, Blizzard will again offer unparalleled online play through Battle.net, the company's world-renowned gaming service, with several enhancements and new features to make StarCraft II the ultimate competitive real-time strategy game.

Blizzard have announced they are releasing thousands of the original WC3 art assets including spells, models, doodads, sounds and more to the Starcraft 2 PTR.

We’re excited to announce the models and assets that made Warcraft III an amazing universe to explore are now available in the StarCraft II PTR.

This brings over three thousand new materials for the amazing Arcade development community to work with, including new hero models for the 4 primary races, all of the original Warcraft III models including neutral creatures and their sounds as well as doodads, structures, spell effects, ambient sounds, music and custom user interfaces for each race.

Whilst planning what you will do with this amazing gift, why not check out what other developers have created so far.

Warcraft: Alliance and Horde Is out now on the SC2 Arcade.
Its like Warcraft 3, but built using World of Warcraft models recompiled for use in the Starcraft 2 engine. Really worth playing with your friends.

Warcraft: Armies of Azeroth Are faithfully recreating warcraft units and artwork, for Starcraft 2, This looks to be the top contender for the "Warcraft 4" title.

What will you create, what would you like to see made?

I recommend Medieval II, I find the game to much more entertaining than StarCraft II. Not only are the graphics realistic. The system requirements aren't as high for the game. Take a look at a few YouTube videos and tell me what you think. The game is also much cheaper too.

Excellent game with immense modding future. The single player is great and original(although the story is not.) The Multiplayer is also great as the game has achievements, a massive esports community, and great custom game features.
